I used wpa-key instead of wpa-psk for the secret key and that's why it failed.

Changing to wpa-psk it worked fine.

Now, coming to the tutorial for ifplugd. As I told, I came across it , it is the old one. They have changed the way of staring wpa_supplicant in the new version. I don't know though what is different and what do I need to change in to this tut.

Can anybody point me to the latest info regarding this. What I want now is just to configure wireless if I don't have the network cable plugged in.

Currently I use ifplugd + whereami + resolvconf.
In /etc/default/ifplugd, I have put eth0 eth1 as INTERFACES.

Check.
You might have problems with DNS so first try to only ping your router (or google or whatever)

But I haven't fully tested. I'm oldschool, I bring up dhcp on wireless manually :)

But I'll be happy to hear how it works for you, maybe I'll put this automatic network setting on my laptop.
